Re: Checking for Valid Dates

Just backwards.  Its the other way around.  There is no need to test a date
field for validity because by definition the value in the field must be a
valid date.  For instance no date field will ever have values of blanks or
zeros.

I thought you could only do a TEST on a field defined in the D spec as a
date field. The field that I need to check originates in the DDS. Am I
wrong on this?
Thanks
